Beeny: ipads worse than coke for kids
SARAH Beeny says ipads are “more addictive than cocaine” and hates that they are used in schools.
The property show presenter, 50, has four sons with her husband Graham Swift.
Speaking on the Tea With Twiggy podcast, Beeny – diagnosed with breast cancer in August – said: “They’re used to the ipad for school.
“But when you look at the screen anytime they’re in a lesson, it’s weirdly not in a lesson.
“They’re doing something else like Minecraft.
“My oldest two both know they would learn more if they took the ipads out of school and went back to pen and paper.
“It’s a little bit like giving children drugs. It’s more addictive than cocaine.”
